The show details the journey sperm undergo to reach the egg.  It has several Reproductive Physiologists discussing their research, as well as helping to explain how fertilization occurs.  It is a fun way to learn about this topic for most age groups!

The doctors have a great blog which discusses all kinds of items about sexuality in a dignified but real world way.  Check them out here http://womentc.wordpress.com.

We recommend Pre-Seed to our patients who are trying to conceive but fear that using lubrication will hamper their ability to conceive.  We have found it to be of excellent viscosity and can handle average thrusting during intercourse. It is not sticky (as are some lubricants) and can be used for clitoral stimulation in addition to intercourse.  We most certainly endorse this product.  ~ Dr. Ditza Katz & Dr. Ross Lynn Tabisel, Women’s Therapy Center, Plainview, NY

Pre-Seed & Pre’ have a large following among several “natural” family planning groups.   We are happy to pass along news that serves these communities, in case it is an approach that blesses you.  Send us your news, if you would like it passed along.  Here is a recent announcement we received:

“Are you interested in learning about a natural way for couples to achieve or avoid pregnancy? Have you heard about a new reproductive science that works cooperatively with a women’s cycle, providing effective treatment for a host of women’s health issues, including PMS, infertility, irregular cycles, repeated miscarriage, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovarian disease, hormonal abnormalities, chronic discharges, postpartum depression, etc.?  Join us for the Tri-State FertilityCare™ Centers Seminar Day on March 13, 2010 at the Serbian American Cultural Center in Weirton, WV to learn more about the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System and NaProTECHNOLOGY.   Each year, FertilityCare™ Centers in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania join together to host this event in a setting that fosters the education of the public, clients and practitioners.  Dr. Thomas Hilgers, Founder of the Creighton FertilityCare™ System and NaProTECHNOLOGY, will be the keynote speaker this year.  Register today at www.tri-statefertilitycarecenters.com!”

The US media fixates an inordinate amount of attention on assisted reproduction as “the cure” for infertility, when in reality only about 1.5% of all children are born from assisted reproduction and over 95% of infertile couples do not pursue these technologies.  Although these techniques certainly have blessed many couples with children, who otherwise would not have become parents; it is important for us to realize the low success rates (~28% per cycle)and high cost in dollars and in complications for the offspring (especially with multiple births).

Methods to optimize fertility through natural reproduction and less invasive procedures should continue to be developed.  But it is important to remember that the assisted reproduction industry has a strong incentive to push couples to in vitro methods, especially when much of it is paid for out of pocket.

Tracking your cycle and optimizing timing of intercourse by understanding your own cervical mucus production is critical.  I strongly recommend Toni Weschler’s book.  Taking fertility vitamins such as the FertilAid products can help boost cervical mucus production and sperm quality.  Have testing to ensure your Fallopian tubes are open early in the process.  And read a good resource on optimizing the whole process such as Dr. Robert Greene’s book.  I do not sell any of the above products.

We do sell Pre-Seed.  Which we think everyone who is trying to conceive should at least try J.  It doesn’t harm sperm or embryos, so there is nothing to lose, and the amazing Users’ Stories we receive tell of Pre-Seed’s role in assisting folks on their TTC journey.   

Pre-Seed is designed to be INSERTED INTRAVAGINALLY.  This is for a reason.  It mimics fertile cervical mucus in pH, osmolality and thickness making a familiar optimal environment for the ejaculated sperm.

I am always amazed at the stories of women splitting applicators and not using the Pre-Seed internally as it was designed.  I am not quite sure why they would want to use the product other than as it is recommended and as has functioned so well for thousands of other couples.  To save the cost of latte, at the same time they are literally standing on their heads to become pregnant.

Remember our products always carry their “Love it or its Free” guarantee.  Of the approximately 150,000 boxes of Pre-Seed sold last year, less than 0.01% were returned for a refund.  

So the math is in your favor to try Pre-Seed and to use it as recommended.

Dr. Helle has had to help me RELAX with being on bed rest this past two weeks, with LOTS more to come…  I have been using her relaxation, meditation CDs.  They are awesome!!!  She has lots of different CDs for everything from hypnosis for weight loss, to decreasing the stress of parenting.

I had never used CDs like this before, and didn’t really know how or if they would work.  But I can tell you, one of my favorite parts of my day is listening to Jane’s voice talking me through a time of relaxation and release.  All her products are guaranteed, so if they don’t bless you, you can return them for a refund.

If you are looking for away to take a little better care of yourself on your journey, whether you are trying to conceive or just busy or in pain…try one of Dr. Helle’s CDs.

Let me know what you think of them, too!   

Take Care-
